[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 753096, member: 1967"] Years ago we had a poster that said her son had gotten sober because he was of a particular faith and if our addict children would just have stronger faith they could beat their addictions. That upset a lot of people (including me). Obviously if all it took was faith then there wouldn't be any alcoholic or substance abusing ministers or rabbis. Others got upset because they were the same faith and felt like the poster was saying their children just weren't strong enough believers. I don't have any problem with someone saying that their faith gave them strength to cope with their child's addiction or that a faith-based program helped their child in recovery. It's another to say that religion is the answer for sobriety. My daughter is an atheist and is approaching her 4 year anniversary of sobriety. That's why we tread very carefully about religion on the board. I don't even want to think about what would happen if we started talking about politics. We try to keep CD a safe place to land.
